Is it normal for your boyfriend to approve sleeping with someone else?

100% normal. It's called an "open relationship".

If he doesn't want to hear about it, I wouldn't tell him. I don't think it is wrong, sounds like an open relationship but if he has boundary about hearing about it then I would respect that.

Open relationships are becoming more common and accepted. I've been doing things that way for the past few people I've been with myself. It just makes more sense to me. If I love someone the last thing I want to do is control them in any way, and that includes what they do with their bodies. I do like to know about it, just so we can ascertain that we're being safe with all our partners. Plus you know, if he ever finds a cute bi girl he could bring home for both of us... X3

Actually I read this really interesting article recently about how monogamy is not really the biological norm for people. Before the days of settlement and private property and fences and things of that nature, people traveled around in nomadic family groups, where generally all the sexually active members swapped partners quite regularly. It made the bonds of the group closer and ensured that the men looked equally on all the tribe's children, because you never know for sure which ones are truly yours.

You should've just stayed with your boyfriend, but if he said he was okay with it, then it's known as an "open relationship". I never approve of these myself, though.

I don't see the point in the first place, it's the same as being a single whore with a close male friend.

Without boundaries, everything will mesh together and become one big nothing. What's the point of having a partner that you fuck and spend time with if you do the exact same thing with other people? That makes "partners" indistinguishable from others in your life, and as such not a partner at all.

People are becoming so lame that soon you won't even have to know your partner, everyone will just point at randoms in the street and say "he/she's my partner because I pointed at him/her. Like kids in primary school going out just because they "held hands that one time".

El pathetico!

Here's a simple translatation for young couples : "go ahead and do it" means "I dare you, I double dare you.".

Just because your boyfriend once said something like "yeah right do whatcha want"... it doesn't mean you both decided to be in an open relationship.

You both do not love one another. If you did, the thought of sleeping with someone else would be revolting.

you will regret it

You'll become quite a bit of a skank to be honest. Anyways, be sure to use protection.

Maybe he wants to watch?

Even so i wouldn't say its right.

No.. Just no.

If you want to explore your sexuality don't be in a serious relationship. That doesn't make any sense to me. ..Poor guy.

Why would you feel guilty? He basically told you it's okay. You have a Open relationship. That's good that you're trying new things.

I say it is an open relationship to me. If he don't want to know about it at all it may be an issue. Just remember if you find out about him being with another woman. You have talked about it being okay.

Sounds like your boyfriend has issues with you going with anyone else if he doesn't want to know about it. That suggests the very idea bothers him, but he's said anyway that you should explore because he's fearful of losing you.

It's not an open relationship unless you and he have actively sat down, on many occasions, and come to the genuinely mutual decision to see other people as well as each other.

IMO though, an open relationship just blurs the boundaries, and there is no real boyfriend/girlfriend thing there anyway.

Looks like your boyfriend has been seconded to the friend zone ...

I agree just sounds like & open relationship & you should keep doing it

you don't have to feel guilty, but you have to make sure the only one who you want to stay is your boyfriend and sleep with your friends will not become an habit.
